NYC Pride announced new policies to address the presence of law enforcement and NYPD at Pride events in New York. “With the coronavirus pandemic still ongoing, issues of police brutality, the alarming murder rate for trans POC, economic hardship, climate disasters, violent efforts to disenfranchise voters, our rights as a community being questioned at the level of the Supreme Court, and more, we are in the midst of many different fights. “In a time of tremendous adversity for the community on many fronts, “The Fight Continues” reflects the multitude of battles we’ve been fighting as a country and as a city,” the group said in a statement. The group Heritage of Pride which organizes an annual parade and other events throughout the year on Saturday said cops are no longer welcome at their events, even those in the LGBTQ community.
In the ever inclusive LBGTQ community, one group of people are no longer welcome in New York City’s gay pride parade, police officers.
